Lyrics
I am like the wind, both warm and cool,
to let you feel the changes flow.
Swirling, drifting, yet ever meant to be around.
Still, as a whisper of the ghosts of long ago.
Until fate takes my hand,
and lulls me with the rain.
Then sends me on my way, I am the wind.
I'm like a butterfly. And, as I flutter by,
you gaze into my eyes.
Deep, as through a lens glass that reflects
all that I am.
And understanding then, I fill you with my joys,
and move you with a sigh, for I'm a butterfly.
We are like the rivers.
Timeless travelers,e'er changing to the last.
Weaving our separate paths, and moving on so fast,
moving on, so very fast.
A sound breaks through! The light;
and then a moment for a glance.
And, after meeting, we begin to flow the same.
As oceans away, we join encompassed in the whole,
until the end of time.
And we are one, yes, we are one. We are One.
